The brilliant panel team of Jon Jordan and Judy Bobolik have put me on a Bouchercon panel called “Leather & Lace: Cozy vs. Hardcore.” Now, as many of you know, I have written more than 20 cozies in the Theda Krakow, Dulcie Schwartz, and Pru Marlowe series. But I’ve started going darker with the Blackie and Care series (“Ninth Life”) so I could go either way. Which do you think I should argue for? (And can’t we all get along?)
